Does anyone know if the TV content will be preserved on YouTube or is it also getting wiped from the internet? As far as I know it doesn’t cost Amazon anything to just let the content stay unlike the main site.

Yep, there's no reason to think it'll be deleted. Unless there comes a day when YouTube/Google decide to change their rules for long-inactive channels, which isn't unlikely, but also not really on the horizon right now.

It’s hard to imagine why Amazon would delete content which they don’t have to host or pay for going forward, but could still result in sales or referrals to themselves.
That said, I suppose the devil’s in the detail, and specifically what the deal was with Chris and Jordan. Might they still have to pay them something per click or whatever going forward? Or per year the content is still available, say? In which case that might mean it has to go.

@ActualHouse @Threaded thank you all for the reply. Let's cross our fingers. There are a few videos by dpr tv that I really cherish.

I’d consider it best practice to download/archive any online content that you genuinely cherish. There are two or three videos I plan to preserve myself.

I was going to rip the entire channel for you with yt-dlp, but they have 1,552 (too many) videos uploaded since 2010 ...lol

I would think that the channel will survive intact. Why would they “nuke” it.
